Nowadays, many would just give up after a couple of races and go bracket racing. Which is pretty much what they have SS dumbed down to now. I raced the whole first season (in 1962) before I won a round. I felt I could figure it out if I stuck it out. I know I'm not fast now, but I feel pretty good when I can qualify in the top half with a low dollar car, and doing my own engines. Still can't drive worth a damn.

So in you're vision of S/SS it would come down to "work harder" (i.e. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$).The guy with the most money and any ability to drive would be king.
As fast as we're spiraling to earth I think your system would hasten the end.
Just my 0cents.
